‘Welcome To Our Crib’: Take A Tour Of The Real World Homecoming: New York Loft
Becky Blasband, Andre Comeau, Heather B. Gardner, Julie Gentry, Norman Korpi, Eric Nies and Kevin Powell were picked to “live in a loft” in 1992. Fast-forward to 2021: The Real World: New York cast is “back” in their Big Apple digs when the franchise returns on Paramount+. In the video, The Real World Homecoming: New York roomies Heather B and Norman invite the world back into their iconic residence. It’s the loft 2.0. “It’s a little bit larger and little bit bigger — we didn’t have such glamor back then,” Norman says of the abode. Obviously, there are a few recognizable features from the ’90s version — like the fish tank and the book Love & Sex. But how are the pets (aka Smokey and Gouda) who lived with the roomie...

Danny Boyle Shares First Look at Sex Pistols TV Series
Louis Partridge as bassist Sid Vicious, Anson Boon as singer John Lydon, Jacob Slater as drummer Paul Cook and Toby Wallace as guitarist Steve Jones, photo by Miya Mizuno for FX Danny Boyle has shared the first look at his upcoming TV series about Sex Pistols, which is slated to premiere on FX. Entitled Pistol, the six-episode limited series is based on the 2017 memoir Lonely Boy: Tales From a Sex Pistol by Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones. As such, the show will center around Jones’ journey from his West London council estates home to the iconic Sex boutique owned by Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren, an epicenter of early punk culture. From there, Boyle will trace the relatively short but furious rise and fall of Sex Pistols. Toby Wallace (Babyteeth) will play Jones, ...
2021 Golden Globes Winners: The Complete List
The 2021 Golden Globe Awards took place on Sunday night after being delayed for nearly two months due to COVID-19. Now in its 78th year, the Golden Globes honor the best in film and television as determined by the Hollywood Foreign Press. Film was scattered, but as expected. Nomadland and Borat Subsequent Moviefilm predictably ran away with their respective top honors, Minari won the only nomination it (tragically) could, Daniel Kaluuya matched the award seasons buzz with his Best Supporting Actor win for Judas and the Black Messiah, and Soul nabbed both Best Animated Feature and Best Original Score. Television belonged to Netflix with essential wins for both The Crown and The Queen’s Gambit. The former ruled over Best Drama, Best Actor for Josh O’Connor, Best Actress for Emma Corrin,...
Is the Media Still Cashing in on Britney Spears’ Trauma?
In the past month, the steadily growing #FreeBritney movement became a mainstream phenomenon following the release of The New York Times Presents documentary Framing Britney Spears. The documentary dissects the pop star’s controversial conservatorship, which placed her under the strict supervision, financially and personally, of conservators like her father, James “Jamie” Spears, among others since 2008. Acting as a thorough introduction for newcomers, Framing Britney Spears provides a heartbreaking portrait of both the rise of the wide-eyed teen singer from Louisiana and her fall from grace, including that infamous head-shaving, umbrella-wielding night anyone who lived through 2007 saw footage of at least a million times over. Framing Britney Spears casts a much kinder, more sympathetic l...
WandaVision Dusts Off the Comics to Tease Vision’s Future
The following editorial is heavy on spoilers… “Previously On”, this week’s eighth episode of Disney+’s WandaVision, is enlightening in many ways. It explores the details of Wanda’s (Elizabeth Olsen) tormented past, re-writes the origin of her powers, and yet also tells the backstory of the villainous Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn). By far the most interesting reveal, however, is the resurrected, colorless version of Vision (Paul Bettany), which is unveiled during the post-credits scene. Not only does this suggest an emotional series finale, it also has some interesting links to the comics that could hint at Vision’s future within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Vision being drained of all color is an unsettling sight, not just because of his cold appearance, but because it speaks to t...
Here’s The Very First Look At The Real World Homecoming: New York
The “true story of the original social experiment” is about to return. The Real World Homecoming New York, premiering on Paramount+ on March 4, will reunite original roommates Becky Blasband, Andre Comeau, Heather B. Gardner, Julie Gentry, Norman Korpi, Eric Nies and Kevin Powell in the Big Apple.

Watch the entire extended (and emotional) look for more and stay with MTV News as we celebrate the premiere of The Real Wor...
All Eyes On Gus: How Nilsa’s Former Floribama Fling Reacted To Her Pregnancy News
Nilsa shared two big words with her MTV Floribama Shore roomies: “I’m pregnant!” And Gus everyone was shocked. During the season premiere, Nilly — who is about 10 and a half weeks along with a baby boy — shared the lifechanging news as the Southerners got settled in their new Montana home. But first the mama-to-be confided in her “thot partner.” “My heart literally hits my vagina — that’s how far it went down in my stomach,” soon-to-be Aunt Aimee declared after her BFF broke the news. “I’m going to be the aunt that teaches this baby how to say f*ck and sh*t and ass.” The two began to strategize how to tell Candace, Codi, Gus number 1, Jeremiah and Kirk because Nilsa’s lack of drinking would make every...
A’Whora on That Drag Race Outfit: “This Moment Is All I Could Have Ever Asked For”
The seventh episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK aired on 25 Feb., and it featured a sewing challenge that’s got everyone talking. The challenge involved the queens making super-shero dresses out of unconventional materials, inspired by the recent lockdown. Nottingham-based queen A’Whora won the challenge with a bright blue dress made out of bin liners, inspired by the NHS — and with that alone, she had my vote. Having studied a diploma in fashion and womenswear, it came as no surprise that A’Whora would be the winner of this challenge, creating a formfitting body with ruffled shoulders and a glistening belt. She took to Twitter to share her gratitude. She tweeted “thank you everyone for this moment, after I’ve studied for over 8 years the art of fashion, th...
Maya Jama Wears Auné’s Trompe L’œil Three-Piece Set on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK
Maya Jama made a special guest appearance on the judging panel for RuPaul’s Drag Race UK on Thursday, 25 Feb., alongside Graham Norton, Michelle Visage, and Ru, of course. For the occasion, Jama wore one of our favourite London-based designers of the moment — secondhand and sustainable stockist Auné‘s in-house collection. Jama’s outfit might have looked like a dress, but it’s actually a three-piece set from Auné’s Trompe L’œil collection of sheer, body-hugging dressing and separates made from a printed mesh that the brand creates in small batches, with pieces made to order. Her outfit from RuPaul’s Drag Race UK is the Auné Trompe L’œil Draped Asymmetric Bandeau Top V2 in orange, paired with the brand’s Mesh Print Midi Skirt, and the mat...
‘Friends And Family Are All You Got’: The Jersey Shore Gang Finally Decided To Forgive And Forget
All the family vacation feels! (It’s about time.) Tonight’s Jersey Shore: Family Vacation finale finally saw the crew in a better place after 10 looong months of tension. Only it wasn’t bruschetta that mended fences or even Deena’s faux toast (just kidding!). It was drunk Vinny’s “terrible speech.” Following raunchy rhetoric of hairy balls, mushroom tattoos, lefty cappuccinos, and Mike’s cockeyed nipples, Vinny emerged (in a bridesmaid dress, no less) to deliver the speech to end all speeches. Cheesy one-liners included the likes of, “Some people call her the Staten Island dump, but joke’s on them because the Staten Island dump’s been closed for several years and now it’s a beautiful park that people love to ...
2021 Golden Globes Predictions: Who Will Win, Who Shouldn’t Be There, and Who’s Missing
Every year, we say we’re not going to watch the Golden Globes. “They’re pay-for-play opportunists who trade awards for access,” we plea in the mirror. “Remember Pia Zadora?” And yet, just like Michael Corleone in The Godfather Part III, they pull us back in. Maybe it’s the pandemic insisting upon things to look forward to amidst the threat of impending doom. Or, more likely, we just love TV and the people who make it too much to not want to root for them to get recognition — no matter how dubious the award. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, an enigmatic collective of 93 non-American journalists who nonetheless live in LA, give out their trophies every year, and the picks are virtually impossible to guess. Sometimes, it’s recognition of the best work in film and TV that year. Other t...
